1920s Bespoke Double Breasted 3 Piece Navy Blue Square Spiral Weave Suit

This suit is simply amazing. it simply has to be seen to be believed. If there was any chance I'd ever be slim enough to wear it again I would never part with it.

Thanks. I bought it for myself as a college graduation pressent. I only wish I could still wear it.

Reasonable price too, wish I could fit it!

A beautiful suit, Mattface. A pity about the waistcoat.

It is a shame no doubt, though i think it could be camouflaged pretty well with a little darning. I figured it better to leave it as is for now to show where the problems are.

If that suit was a SMIDGEON smaller...it might fit me. As it is, I reckon it'd be too big. But it's a nice suit. Someone will snap it up eventually.

It's iconic! Mid to late 1920s. (And yes, there were double-breasted models back then that had notch lapels.) As Dinerman noted, very rare. Superb diamond weave!

Keep the suit jacket buttoned up, and no one will see the waistcoat's damage.

Yeah, it really pains me to part with it. I paid a good price for it in 1993 straight out of college, because I was in love with it, but I'll never be able to wear it again. I was actually thinner when I graduated college than I was when I graduated high school. It makes no sense to leave it collecting dust in my closet if someone else has a better use for it. Hopefully before it sells I'll find a model that fits in it so I can photograph it on.

Very nice, it's very tempting!

Way too big for me but if it was smaller I would have it for my birthday.

I'll take it...PM sent

The suit is sold thanks guys. Pity I didn't get a chance to take some photos of it on a model. If it was one of you that bought it, be sure to post up some pics when you get it.
